Say Cheese for the Sandwich



This is The Hubs favorite sandwich.  If you LOVE cheese as much as he does, you will LOVE its rich, nutty flavor.  It is oozing with gooey, cheesy goodness.  You cannot substitute any other cheese if you want the right outcome of melted bliss.  The prosciutto is a perfect pair with its salty bite.  The only thing that could make this sandwich any better is a nice Pinot Grigio.  The ideal Italian supper. . . Ciao, Bella!

Ingredients:
4 Slices 12 grain, sourdough or other hardy bread
1 cup Fontina cheese-grated
2-4 slices prosciutto, pepperoni or cooked bacon (bacon isn't nearly as good!)
2-3 TBSP butter
1-2 tsp honey mustard (if desired)

Directions:
1. Preheat Panini Press or heavy skillet on medium to medium high
2. Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread
3. Spread honey mustard on the other side of two slices
4. Place 2 slices of bread on the press or skillet with the butter side down
5. Add ½ cup of cheese to each slice of bread
6. Add 1 slice to of prosciutto on top of cheese
7. Top with remaining bread slices, butter side up
8. Grill until bread is a deep, golden brown and cheese is melted, gooey and running down the sides of the bread
9. EAT!
